Lunham v. United States

The above-named appellants have filed their petition for rehearing substantially based upon the claim that the collector, by liquidating the entry before the term of the bond for the production of the certificate of previous exportation had expired, had impliedly waived the production of the certificate. This claim was not made in the brief or argument when the case was heard in this court, but it was claimed that by showing the impossibility of obtaining the same its production was, in law, excused.

Some stress seems to be given in the petition to the opening statement in the opinion on file…
